One of the finest photos of team wear I've seen. I'd look in the hat, see who the manufacturer is and sell this puppy to them for their annual report, next rade show display, press kit, etc. Formerly an editor at a national trade publication dealing with the sporting goods industry, I can say with some authority that this is a very marketable photo (IMHO). I've been in health care for several years now and can no longer give you a name of a decision maker. I'm sorry, because this is truly well-done.

For those that are just learning, like me.

Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.

Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.

Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.

Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.

There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.

Good luck!

I might have focused on the left hand side rather than the centre

I do like the texture of the hat, but I think that the DOF might be a bit soft.

Comment by FranziskaLang:
this shot could've benefited from sharpening, it would've brought out the texture much more. i do likethe colors and the texture in the shot, in fact, i think i would like to see more of the logo. also, was there a way of positioning this so that the TL corner would've been not just black background but more of the black fabric? -- gr8photos (3)

Comment by BeeGee:
this looked promising in thumbnail format, but full size I'd say there's a clear lack of focus, or an extremely shallow DOF? 4 beegee
